Some of you have met cheeky chops by now she seems to have made her mark on the forums today and left our house in turmoil as usual.
We have had a day of spinning with some success and some disasters.
This is her first effort closely supervised by me init?
A black circuit board pen for her geeky brother in New Zealand.

Next was a green circuit board pen for her geeky dad.

I left her as she was finishing this Empress, Son no 2 came round with his car problems for me to hurt my back on.
Came back when she had finished this and the next pen with help from her know-it-all brother.

I have to take my hat off to the pair of them for attempting this one, even if it is disgraceful she loves it for her own school pen.
She laughed when I called it Frankie's pipe and she has named it that. I explained that it is polythene piping usually for underground use.
That it is like polishing a turd and she had done well to even achieve this.

We had lunch and Big bro disappeared to burgle someone's house or sell some drugs on the street corner or whatever older teenage boys get up to these days.
Charly and I were back in shed to explore some more materials for pen making.
She made a Corian slimline and an Aluminium Slimline and generally sat talking to all on this board.
My beautiful granddaughter chuffed as nuts about the day she had with ol grump.

Love em all Doug The older boys both have at least a basic idea of turning.
Sam the one who has emigrated with his mum has a good idea of how to turn and has made some good stuff in his short time.
Charly is a cheeky chatterbox and such a sweet popular girl she really wants to learn and simply loved chatting on here.
I am sure we will see more of her on here maybe next weekend.
She was absolutely thrilled to hear from Peter penpal the other side of the world.
Nice to appreciate what is easily taken for granted youth really is wasted on the young init?
Oh yeah and she chose this crappy stupid avatar she said its just like me protecting my little family love her.
